Accurate analysis of trace earthy-musty odorants in water by headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A simple and sensitive method was developed for the simultaneous separation and determination of trace earthy-musty compounds including geosmin, 2-methylisoborneol, 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine, 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine, 2,3,4-trichloroanisole, 2,4,6-trichloroanisole, and 2,3,6-trichloroanisole in water samples. This method combined headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and used naphthalene-d(8) as internal standard. A divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane fiber exposing at 90°C for 30 min provided effective sample enrichment in HS-SPME. These compounds were separated by a DB-1701MS capillary column and detected in selected ion monitoring mode within 12 min. The method showed a good linearity from 1 to 100 ng L(-1) and detection limits within (0.25-0.61 ng L(-1)) for all compounds. Using naphthalene-d(8) as the internal standard, the intra-day relative standard deviation (RSD) was within (2.6-3.4%), while the inter-day RSD was (3.5-4.9%). Good recoveries were obtained for tap water (80.5-90.6%), river water (81.5-92.4%), and lake water (83.5-95.2%) spiked at 10 ng L(-1). Compared with other methods using HS-SPME for determination of odor compounds in water samples, this present method had more analytes, better precision, and recovery. This method was successfully applied for analysis of earthy-musty odors in water samples from different sources.

Several parameters of the extraction and desorption procedure were studied and optimized (such as types of fibers, extraction temperature, extraction time, desorption temperature, desorption time, ionic strength and elutropic strength and pH of samples). The method shows good linearity over the concentration range 1-500 ng l⁻¹ and gives detection limits of sub-part per trillion levels for all compounds. Good precision (5.9-9.8%) is obtained using IBMP as internal standard. Finally, the method was successfully applied to analyze earthy and musty odors in tap water and lake water.     

Determination of odorous mixed chloro-bromoanisoles in water by solid-phase micro-extraction and gas chromatography-mass detection

A headspace-solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method has been proposed for the simultaneous determination of odorous trihalogenated anisoles in water. Parameters affecting efficiency of HS-SPME procedure, such as the selection of the SPME coating, extraction time, temperature and ionic strength were optimized. The commercially available polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS 100 microm) fiber appears to be the most suitable for the simultaneous determination of these compounds. Run-to-run precision with relative standard deviations (R.S.D.s) between 5 and 15% were obtained for most of the compounds except for 2,5-dicloro-6-bromo-anisole, 2,3-dibromo-6-chloroanisole, pentachloro- and pentabromoanisole (>20%). The method was linear over two orders of magnitude, and detection limits were compound dependent and ranged from 0.03 ng/L for 2,4,6-trichloroanisole to 0.25 ng/L for 2,3-dibromo-6-chloroanisole. The HS-SPME-GC-MS procedure was tested using real samples and relatively good standard deviations were obtained when using p-iodoanisole as internal standard for quantification. This is the first time that the individual identification of odorous trihalogenated chloro-bromoanisoles has been reported, being HS-SPME-GC-MS a suitable method for simultaneous determination of these compounds in water at concentration levels below their odor limit of detection.

Quantification was performed using the MS in the single-ion-monitoring mode (SIM) with 2,4,6-trichloroanisole-D(5 )as internal standard. Quantification limits are 0.1-0.2 ng L(-1) for the haloanisoles, 0.5 ng L(-1) for geosmin, and 1 ng L(-1) for MIB. The relative standard deviations at the quantification limit ranged from 7 to 14.6%. SBSE recovery was evaluated by spiking real water samples and varied from 87 to 117%. More than twenty samples per day can be analyzed by SBSE-TD-capillary GC-MS. The same technique in combination with olfactometry was used to elucidate unknown odorous compounds in water samples.

Musty and earthy odors dramatically influence the esthetic quality and consumer acceptability of drinking water. This study was conducted to obtain a sensitive method for simultaneous analysis of seven odors, including geosmin (GSM), 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), 2-isopropyl-3-methoxy pyrazine (IPMP), dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS), 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (2,4,6-TCA), β-cyclocitral, and β-ionone, in water by applying headspace solid phase micro-extraction coupled to gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. Moreover, the proposed method was applied to obtain preliminary understanding of the levels of these odorants in purified water among various brands in the world, and to try to find out the potential causes when the odorants appeared in purified water. The target compounds could be separated and analyzed effectively within 23 min, and the GSM and DMTS could be detected in all brands of chosen countries, while the IPMP, β-ionone and 2,4,6-TCA cannot be observed in the above brands.

A new method using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) was developed for the determination of four benzotriazoles, i.e. benzotriazole (BT), 5-methylbenzotriazole (5-TTri), 5-chlorobenzotriazole (CBT), 5,6-dimethylbenzotriazole (XTri), and six UV filters, i.e. benzophenone-3 (BP-3), 3-(4-methylbenzylidene)camphor (4-MBC), octyl 4-methoxycinnamate (OMC), 2-(3-t-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-chloro benzotriazole (UV-326), 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-octylphenyl)-benzotriazole (UV-329), and octocrylene (OC) in ground water, effluent and biosolid samples. Solid phase extraction (SPE) and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) were applied as the preconcentration method for water samples (ground water and effluent) and biosolid samples, respectively. The optimized method allowed us to quantify all target compounds with the method detection limits ranging from 0.29 to 11.02 ng/L, 0.5 to 14.1 ng/L and 0.33 to 8.23 ng/g in tap water, effluent and biosolid samples, respectively. The recoveries of the target analytes in tap water, effluent and biosolid samples were 70-150%, 82-127% and 81-133%, respectively. The developed analytical method was applied in the determination of these target compounds in ground water, effluent and biosolid samples collected from Bolivar sewage treatment plants in South Australia. In effluent samples, the target compounds BT, 5-TTri, CBT, XTri and BP-3 tested were detected with the maximum concentration up to 2.2 μg/L for BT. In biosolid samples, eight out of ten compounds tested were found to be present at the concentrations ranging between 18.7 ng/g (5-TTri) and 250 ng/g (4-MBC).     

Simultaneous determination of eight common odors in natural water body using automatic purge and trap coupled to gas chromatography with mass spectrometry

Production and fate of taste and odor (T&O) compounds in natural waters are a pressing environmental issue. Simultaneous determination of these complex compounds (covering a wide range of boiling points) has been difficult. A simple and sensitive method for the determination of eight malodors products of cyanobacterial blooms was developed using automatic purge and trap (P&T) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). This extraction and concentration technique is solvent-free. Dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethyltrisulfide (DMTS), 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine (IPMP), 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine (IBMP), 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), β-cyclocitral, geosmin (GSM) and β-ionone were separated within 15.3 min. P&T uses trap #07 and high-purity nitrogen purge gas. The calibration curves of the eight odors show good linearity in the range of 1-500 ng/L with a correlation coefficient above 0.999 (levels=8) and with residuals ranging from approximately 83% to 124%. The limits of detection (LOD) (S/N=3) are all below 1.5 ng/L that of GSM is even lower at 0.08 ng/L. The relative standard deviations (RSD) are between 3.38% and 8.59% (n=5) and recoveries of the analytes from water samples of a eutrophic lake are between 80.54% and 114.91%. This method could be widely employed for monitoring these eight odors in natural waters.

A method for the analysis of six taste and odour causing compounds in aqueous samples using the granular adsorbent, Ambersorb 572, and gas chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) has been developed. This method for the determination of geosmin, 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine (IPMP), 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine (IBMP), 2,3,6-trichloroanisole (236-TCA) and 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (246-TCA) is highly productive [up to 40 samples per day + 23 quality control (QC) samples] and provides rapid (24-48 h) turnaround times. The analytes are extracted from water by the addition of Ambersorb 572 to the sample bottle and rolling for 1 h. The adsorbent is isolated by filtration and allowed to air dry for 1 h. The Ambersorb 572 is transferred to an autosampler vial and the analytes are desorbed into dichloromethane. The extract is analysed by GC-HRMS at 7000 resolving power (RP). Quantification is performed by isotope dilution and internal standard techniques utilizing d3-geosmin, d3-2-MIB, d5-246-TCA and 2-sec-butyl-3-methoxypyrazine (s-BMP). Method precisions of 3.5-5.8% and accuracies of +/- 5.7-8.9% were obtained. Reporting detection limits (RDLs) of 1.0 ng L-1 were obtained for 2-MIB, geosmin, IPMP and IBMP, while RDLs of 2.0 ng L-1 were obtained for 236-TCA and 246-TCA.     

Determination of trace amounts of off-flavor compounds in drinking water by stir bar sorptive extraction and thermal desorption GC-MS.

A method for the determination of trace amounts of off-flavor compounds including 2-methylisoborneol, geosmin and 2,4,6-trichloroanisole in drinking water was developed using the stir bar sorptive extraction technique followed by thermal desorption-GC-MS analysis. The extraction conditions such as extraction mode, salt addition, extraction temperature, sample volume and extraction time were examined. Water samples (20, 40 and 60 ml) were extracted for 60-240 min at room temperature (25 degrees C) using stir bars with a length of 10 mm and coated with a 500 microm layer of polydimethylsiloxane. The extract was analyzed by thermal desorption-GC-MS in the selected ion monitoring mode. The method showed good linearity over the concentration range from 0.1 or 0.2 or 0.5 to 100 ng l(-1) for all the target analytes, and the correlation coefficients were greater than 0.9987. The detection limits ranged from 0.022 to 0.16 ng l(-1). The recoveries (89-109%) and precision (RSD: 0.80-3.7%) of the method were examined by analyzing raw water and tap water samples fortified at the 1 ng l(-1) level. The method was successfully applied to low-level samples (raw water and tap water).
